What do you mean? I used this reference www.shutterstock.com/pic-16163… Perhaps her forward hand is to close to the trigger hand? 

EDIT: I tweaked her hand positions. I don't know much about guns, but the images I've seen shows close hand positions and sometimes more spread apart. I suppose more far apart for her pose makes more sense considering the gun is bulky in the front. Let me know if theres anything that looks off about it, I appreciate people's critiques.

The stock of a rifle is supposed to touch the shoulder, not the elbow. You can't really aim otherwise. Tbh I'm not even sure the stock photo is too correct either. stuttershock is not really known for their accuracy when depicting certain actions. The angle's a little weird and the watermark gets in the way. 

This is a probably a better reference: olegvolk.net/gallery/d/41467-2…

I think I found the problem. I just tweaked the shape of the stock so it looks more snug against her shoulder, the other shape might of looked like it wasn't against her shoulder, but rather slanting toward her inner arm. How's that look?

It seems a little better, though the gun goes through kind of a weird perspective change now.
It still doesn't seem like the right way to hold a gun (elbow sticking out sideways as opposed to downward), but it's passable at least. Any more changes are probably not worth it. Better spend that effort on a new piece
